/forceload being usable in commands blocks is a really nice bonus for this version. Happy to see that.

confirmed 1.15 will be focused on performance

[CraftKid]

Why would they remove the Player Actitivy button?

They said they were going to add a friends list for java edition in the past I figure this was just the slow start to it predecessor to it.... :/ :c

I only saw zombies taking the correct paths; one of them just happened to take the shortest path.

4:34 actually thought my cat was meowing but alas it was just from your background.

this video is kind of hard to follow, the footage doesn't quite match what your talking about at some times

[coldReactive]

The bug where blocks would re-appear for a split second has been an issue since beta in fact. Minecraft finally fixed it with this patch, and I have now dubbed 1.14 as one of the largest progression patches for Minecraft in ages. They also added a partial modding API (Which they showcased during some sort of game convention thing or whatever, where people made custom models/mobs/etc. in vanilla minecraft) This has been something they've been wanting to put in for years.

You have to start matching audio and video it looks so bad when you don't. Hard to focus on anything. My suggestion is make shorter clips, as soon as you start talking about other thing switch to the clip you are talking about.

[Megabobster]

So now that you can't farm positive gossip by curing zombie villagers, how are you supposed to counteract negative gossip? Or is negative gossip perpetually spreading fixed too?

[DantevanGemert]

7:10 I thought my screen was broken! So relieved to find out this was a bug

[kaldain]

Excellent! Gotta go update the server now.

[tonytromboney]

2:51 Do the new trades only affect newly generated villagers, or will old ones convert to it? I’d rather now slaughter half my village if I don’t need to...

[solcraftdev]

the first bug is BEST FIX, BEEN BOTHERING ME ON VERSIONS AS OLD AS SOME BETA VERSIONS!!!! Glad its fixed, can finally host large modpack servers YAS THEY PATCHED RUBBER BANDING

[SeaOfPixels]

0:22 thank you. Also no we need a 1.14.5

[mothtolias]

congrats on the release slicedlime! very excited to see what you have planned for 1.15 =]

[bradcasper]

But for some reason they still can't fix disappearing horses...

[Zigouzag]

How do you do your Smooth moving at the beginning of the vid ? is it an external tool or internal or what ?

[sebastianjabine]

is there a new duplication glitch out for 1.14.4?

[wyntreaux]

i hope they remove the cave sound or make a new one cause it scares me
